There were no surprises for me. But unlike some of the people that post on this site I honor agreements of confidentiality. So I don't talk about what happened in my particular weekend. Since Est no longer exists I have no qualms about sharing detalis from 23 years ago. As far as the tapes, if they still exist, I don't care if they're jerking off to them back in Oakland.

Dpa you didn't answer my questions. 1. Did you strip naked for the male bonding ritual at the end of the Sterling Weekend? 2. And did you know Sterling videotapes the whole seminar and would be taping you naked?

The subject line essentially says it all. If the point I made was so minor and the syllabus was a joke then posting it would be to your benefit. But your own propaganda is so weak that your chat room can't stand for open and honest disagreement. It is simply your form of "mind control" and "brainwashing. You're a fraud.

That I can tell you as a minister..God can change your husband if you have faith and patience..it's not about what you did..you allowed this man to have this life for 8 years in the home..that was your responsibility and you need help for yourself for allowing the abuse...as they would tell any woman in your position no divorce actions for at least 6 months..(unless it's just to protect

I totally understand your concern and it very well be God's will that you not allow custody with your husband..I feel it is very dangerous to the child and I will pray you find a good attorney that you can afford that will help you..corboy said it all so beautifully..it's all true..the word is pride...men and women but especially men hate to admit that wasted years in chasing the wind .

The book was mostly written for men trying to get child custody or who have been falsely accused of spousal or child abuse. But if you make the necessary gender pronoun substitutions, the advice is just as relevant for women who have lost husbands to bad groups. The ability to write inspirational books or give inspirational lectures is a different 'skill set' from the bundle

well spoken Oz you will be in my prayers for your testimony of faith and truth and yes God will send his ministering angels...in anyway he needs to...and unconditional love and forgiveness are the key..that's why I believe reading Steve Hassen's book is very simple and teaches us that they are victims..they never consented to this..there are very few things considered vicims..hurricanes

Revclaire, I just want to back you up on what you are saying about Faith in God for the benefit of leftmama.

skeptic you are a brillant man and your intelligence is known but my solution to freedom from anger and having to be right is for anyone. You don't have to read or write or have any intelligence at all. All you need is a willing heart and an open mind. I make no reference to "religion" or church or doctrine. I teach people to have an open relationship with the God of their heart.

Obvviously not all "cults" or education, persuasion or thought reform ("mind control") programs are the same. See the following links: "Skeptikk" doesn't seem that skeptical about Sterling.

Elizabeth-- "Sterling Guy" offers what is essentially the "mantra" of his group. That is, a relationship is the responsibility of the woman and she should essentially accept whatever her man does unconditionally. Obviously, most thinking people would consider this bad advice.
